Think feminists are just angry women? I agree! Fully, Who wouldn’t be angry at what we see happening to women and girls everyday especially when you are a woman. Who? Please stand up if you are a woman who is not angry at the current state of the world and position that women have been forced to into. Tip of the Iceberg 2014 still at it : Iraq mulls law to let men marry 8-year-old girls (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/mar/14/iraq-mulls-law-let-men-marry-8-year-old-girls/)
Do you see these girls having any rights? Not to mention FGM (female genital mutilation) still going today with support of both men and women who somehow believe that cutting off a woman’s or girls clitoris is somehow okay, women been raped and molested on a daily just for the hell of it like the Indian woman who was raped by a group of men on a bus or some women and girls are simply killed just because they are women or girls, some countries encourage killing women even before birth or after they are born because they prefer boys. This list is endless and if this continues I dare not think of where our society if headed.These are our mothers, sisters, aunties and daughters. As it is there are millions of women and children missing as of 2011 approximately 160million women were missing (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/27/opinion/27douthat.html?_r=0 ) we are in 2014 so please do the math. It’s an epidemic!
So for you women who stood up are you still standing? It’s okay to sit down now!
So i am grateful for women rights organisations, feminists groups yu name it anyone and everyone who fights for women and children to be treated with the respect they deserve and for sure if we did not have these organisations and institutions, or any form of feminist movement, i.e women who refuse to be treated as second class citizens I don’t even want to begin to think about where we would be today. They have been fighting for years and continue to fight to build a fence of protection for other women and children.
Globally women have none or very limited to valuable resources, land etc you name it they are not the majority shareholders. They do not control the wealth in ANY nation so therefore they are with very limited power to control and protect themselves. They are not the majority in the judicial system in ANY country, and have been reserved as the sex class and outside of that role women and girls are treated like they are of little to no value to men, who currently hold the power after all ‘He who pays the piper calls the tune’ so as long as it stays this way there will be dire consequences.
So what are you going to do about this situation? Remember Charity begins at home!!
